life with my girls- video post & photo update

October 13, 2010

Life has been pretty busy and hectic with trying to move and settle into our new place. Having a 2 yr old and 2 month old are slowing us down a bit with the unpacking…but we are getting through it! The giggle and lovey moments make all the craziness worth it. Sienna has been so interactive lately..smiling, cooing and giggling whenever she sees our faces! It’s amazing. and Sophia is loving it. Sienna was so smiley today when looking at sophie.. it made my day seeing the two of them interact and smile at each other!
This is what i do while sophia is sleeping instead of unpacking..haha. getting sienna to coo and smile…. 
i’m a known procrastinator. ;)

sophie kept making sienna laugh and smile so i snapped some photos quick!

sienna wasn’t so sure about this….haha. 
but sophie is all about holding her little sister right now and wants to snuggle. 

sophia thought i was taking too many photos of just sienna so she posed with the batteries as well as other random items around her she could grab.

best hand me down ever. sophia loves this thing.




 Sophie has been such a trooper throughout all the moving craziness. She started a new trick though….hiding. running and hiding! The past few times we have been out in stores she runs off. luckily we’ve been able to catch her…but when we find her she goes with a smile. “i hiding!”……….not fun.

She has been giving tours of “ma house” to everyone who stops by. 
really wanting to get her space all set up. i’m going to be painting her bedroom this week.. 
i picked out ballet slipper pink from martha stewart’s line. i can’t wait to see how it goes up. photos coming i promise! :)

i’m learning very quickly that not a lot gets done with two little ones this young….and i’m learning to be ok with that! let the boxes sit…i want to have some cuddle time with my sweeties and watch/sing and dance to backyardigans. haha.

    Your girls are so darling! My two sweeties are 22 months apart (now 5 and 7 years old) so I understand how busy you must be now! Isn’t it the best though? Enjoy! – Carrie

    hi natalie! I have been following your blog for some time now but this is the first time I have left a comment, because I totally understand the situation you are in now. We have a 21 month old son and a 3 month old daughter. And we moved last month. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done! It was especially hard because we don’t have any family nearby to help us, and my husband works 6 days a week and very long hours. Anyways, a month after moving, we are completely unpacked. We have moved four times and have only been married for three years! But this time was definitely the hardest! We will keep you in our prayers during this time of transition for you and your family. Having two little ones is so different than one, but I feel like each day things get a little easier, and I hope you are experiencing the same!

    PS – I found your blog through my husband (Joe Arico’s) facebook and always really enjoy your posts, especially since it seems we got married and have had babies around the same time.
